Batters Dominate Amid Bowlers Struggle In 1st Unofficial Test Draw In Canterbury
The Spitfire Ground: The 1st unofficial Test between India 'A' and England Lions ended not with a bang but a handshake. After four days of hard, if unspectacular, cricket on a docile pitch at The Spitfire Ground, the game meandered to a predictable draw on Monday afternoon.
It was a contest that offered more for the statisticians and selectors than spectators, with batters cashing in and bowlers toiling endlessly for scraps.
After England Lions edged ahead with a 30-run first-innings lead — bowled out right on the stroke of lunch — the final day evolved into an extended net session for India A’s top order. Four Indian batters—Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Dhruv Jurel, and Nitish Kumar Reddy—got valuable middle time, stroking fluent half-centuries before both teams shook hands an hour after tea.
